I lost a child in 2018 ... my second pregnancy I was 39 years old after I told my daughter who as at the time thirteen years old w would always be an only child ....and the universe made good on that prediction I miscarriage just on twelve weeks..... and I had to work thru my grief ...and I still am....is this why at 42 years old I started to collect dolls , it maybe part of it but not all of it.... The psychology behind collecting dolls or collecting anything really is the human need to feel connected ..to feel part of something to feel a sense that you belong...as a kid o collected stamps ...and loved looking at o the people collections ..seeing if I have that rare stamp doing the research and feeling like I had acquired knowledge and belonged....I wasn't particularly sporty...academically I wasn't know for my fantastic exam results ...but collecting gave me a sense I belonged somewhere... Why dolls .... After the loss of our baby I threw myself I n to helping others as an empath we tended to put others needs over our own ... traumatised by the loss and the why it all went down in my pwngreuf i felt the loss was my fault and i had to make up for it...i had to fix what was no ones fault but the path the universe had chosen... my spirit guides found me inconsolable....with the miscarriage of my baby daughter came a lot of pain mentally but also physically hence the reason why I lost her... while grieving I was in consent pain ...having many tests and scans ...and was booked in for minor surgery that they hoped would give both answers but relive from the pain I was I... the surgery dosnt work ...and the pain returned worse and nothing would really make it go away... much like my grief....now I face the surgy of loosening my ability to carry and have children....but a 42...I'm finally ok with it... So yes I get that but.... why collect dolls.... Many would suggest that it's my subconscious dealing with the grief of loosing a child and for some women that collect dolls including me on a subconscious leve there maybe something valid in that but for me it the one thing in the universe that I do that mine ... and for me...and being a medium alot of of the dolls I end up with have emtional attachment ... the at empathic side never sleeps....out of the 30 odd d ills o currently have 10 maybe 12 have a spiritual emotional attachment .... our place is safe ... the spirit has someone to talk to ... me my partner is so a medium... my daughter Bianca sensitive and generally most of the people we know are in the spiritual side of the population.... Some who collect doll dose because of childhood memories happy times...sentimental moments while others like the way they are made the detail..the artistry....some like me like old things ... I like old things .. unusual thing..things that are quirky different ...thing like me i guess...my collection isn't just a collection of dolls... but a collect of lost spirit souls that loved the doll and it's that one thing in this w o led they just can't let go of...if that object is here that don't have to and there attachment d o rd course anyone any trouble..."Wee William" the little doll that was my first fixer upper is the most life like doll in the collection... I felt his energy change from a sense of sadness and rejection ...a feeling of feeling unloved to ... a cheeky happy baby energy ... The previous own of my large "Chrissy " doll I recently acquired with her sister "Pippi " ...she drops in to see how I'm restoring her much loved dolls ... and then there is doll in the photo below..."Eve" the three faced doll whose connected soul is of that of a women who struggled emotionally ...hence the intense feeling of each of her faces... her happy face changes and you can feel how happy she is... Doll people are weird... Im starting to get that a lot .... and the first reference they make are reborn dolls the very real looking baby dolls that became popular in the 2000s and still are.....to that i say if it make a person happy let it be... there are people who are into cars and treat them like there third child ... and lovely resort and show it off... there are very real emotions connect to a collection ... happiness a sense of community ... in some cases pride...the thrill of finding that one thing....and pleasure it give... and yes if it helps you deep down in some emotional way deal with something then so be it ...your not hurting any one.... but there is a difference between collecting and hording .. Hording is a different thort process .. What do you collect ... does your collection have a spiritual attachment ...a spirit can connect to just about anything ...if there is invested emotions in an object ...it can have an attachment ... collecting why do you do it....love and light take care....🦋🦋
